Gods this was cute. I was iffy about Jasper at the start but he redeemed himself so well!!! I read Powars’ debut about a year ago and adored it. This book definitely shows their growth as an author. The story was heartfelt and sweet and perfectly teenager. As an adult reading it, at time I thought “AHHHHH JUST TALK TO EACH OTHER PROPERLY,” but that’s what being young is like. You’re running from one thing to another and panicking like your life depends on it. Charlie’s focus on grades and rankings takes me back to my own single minded focus in high school. Their chaos and confusion reminds me of my own stumbling flings back then. It’s a lovely read.

Cute quick read. Some of the dialogue made me cringe at times. And not because teenagers are cringe, because they are, but because it was absolutely not something a teenager would say, no matter how pretentious. I think a high school aged reader would love this though!

Ridiculously far fetched in the way that only books about rich kids at boarding school facing a million coincidences can be, but also really fun and I loved
